Cooking with Beer
I’ve always loved mac & cheese, and over the past couple of years this has become my go-to recipe. I use my favorite Colorado beer in it every time: Ska’s Modus Hoperandi. Beer Mac and Cheese 2 c. macaroni, cooked according to pkg. directions, and drained 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons flour 8 ounces whole milk 8 ounces…
Beer & Cheese Pairing at Copper Kettle
Copper Kettle Brewing hosts a beer & cheese pairing on the second Thursday of every month. Cheeses from The Truffle Cheese Shop (2906 E. 6th Avenue Denver) are paired with Copper Kettle’s brews. $20 gets you four pairings. I attended my first one last night, and I must say I was not disappointed. When I…
Last chance to catch stout month!!!
Check out this link to Denver Off the Wagon in which I, Colorado Beer Girl, team up with Josh Rapp to review several of the excellent stouts at Vine Street Pub. You officially have TWO more days to catch Stout Month, thanks to Leap Year for the added day in 2012. http://www.denveroffthewagon.com/2012/02/27/last-chance-for-stout-month-recap-featuring-the-colorado-beer-girl/ If you haven’t…
River North Brewery: Belgian Beer (now in pint glasses!)
I was so excited about the opening of River North Brewery, just 2 blocks from my loft. I stopped by over the weekend to check it out during their grand opening. The taproom is quite small, with around 6-8 barstools and about 5-6 tables. It’s a nice little space but was overly crowded. I’m not…
Caution: Falling Rock may cause Dain Bramage
February is yet another fantastic month for beer in Denver. Not only is it Stout Month, it’s also Barleywine Month, a.k.a. Dain Bramage month, at Falling Rock Tap House. Falling Rock is undoubtedly one of the best tap houses around. With over 75 taps and the motto “No Crap on Tap,” you can never go…
Women, beer, and…pubic wigs?!
The last thing I thought I’d be shouting in front of a group of dozens of women at a beer event on a Wednesday night is, “A pubic wig!” But often the most spontaneous things end up being the most memorable. Last week I had the pleasure of experiencing my first Crafty Ladies Beer Club meeting at…
Who’s ready for Stout Month?! Meeeeeeeeeee!
I imagine the folks at Vine Street get sick of seeing my face during the month of February. But with all the excellent rotating stouts, I simply can’t take the chance of missing one. Solution: stop there every day. And this year we get an extra day, thanks to Leap Year! Woo hoo!
Denver Beer Company to consider Happy Hour?!
I have been a fan of Denver Beer Company since it opened. They have brewed several excellent beers I’ve gone out of my way to try and go back for, and they have a great space in a nice location. So wouldn’t it be great if the one brewery in Denver that doesn’t offer Happy…
Whole Hop Infusion at Bull & Bush
I read an article yesterday (by Beer Man, Westword Blogs) about Tableside Whole Hop Infusions at Bull & Bush. That was around 2 p.m. By 4:15 I was at Bull & Bush to see what it was all about. As a self-proclaimed hops freak, I simply couldn’t wait to get there and check it out….
